Lets's calculate LCM of 940,371
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 348740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/348740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 586/940,856/371 is 2/348740
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 940,371 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(940,371) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(940,371) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(940,371) = ( 940 × 371 ) / 1
LCM(940,371) = 348740 / 1
LCM(940,371) = 348740
